Abstract: An apparatus and method for re-forming and maintaining the circular shape of a deformed roll of material includes a forming means having a rigid arcuate pressure pad adapted to press against and shape an inner surface portion of a coiled roll of material, such as steel, aluminum, or other material adapted to be mounted for rotation in a sheeting operation wherein a web of the material is withdrawn from the roll and cut into predetermined lengths. Hydraulic jacking means carried by a rigid plate disposed as a geometric chord between the ends of the arcuate pressure pad serves to force deformed portions of the center opening of the coil outwardly as the jacking means is operated. A pair of such pads is disposed in opposed relation within the center opening of the coil and an expansible sleeve or liner disposed about the two pads. The liner includes a band of semi-rigid material wrapped cylindrically to dispose the end edges of the band in closely spaced confronting relation separated by a gap therebetween.
